Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
What kind of mpg could you expect from Ford's new gas burner 7.3 hauling a Northstar Laredo? I have seen where they got 5.6 hauling a heavy loaded trailer.

I use fuelly, what you can see in my signature and on the site I make notes about changing conditions. When about 90% of my mileage is with camper, few miles were empty and the site allows you to make % of city driving indication.
From 113 fillups, the worse was 9.4 mpg (with TC and boat) the best 16.23 when I drove from SF to LV empty (remember the winds?)
Than driving empty I kept 75 mph, instead usual 60 with camper.
The records also indicate that my mpg improved by like 5% once the truck passed 20,000 miles. Looks like this is when the engine finally broke-in.
